砖, 石头, 大理石, 花岗岩, 石灰石, 铸石, 混凝土砌块, 石灰华, 玻璃块, 粉刷, ceramic tile - almost every imaginable type of building material has been used in masonry - plus the binding materials that hold them together. 几个世纪以来, tourists have visited the pyramids of Egypt, 亚洲的庙宇, and the cathedrals of 欧洲, all of which pay tribute to the amazing structures man can make from individual building units.
Masonry materials quality testing
Since the earliest structures, material quality has made the difference between successful and unsuccessful building projects. Today's masonry materials can be simple or advanced, but all must meet quality standards and codes.
im体育APP supports your masonry products and projects with accurate testing to the standards and specifications that matter to your business, 包括:
- ASTM C190, Method of Test for Tensile 强度 of Hydraulic Cement Mortars
- ASTM C348, Standard Test Method for Flexural 强度 of Hydraulic-Cement Mortars
- ASTM C482, Standard Test Method for Bond 强度 of Ceramic Tile to Portland Cement Paste
- ASTM C67, Standard Test Methods for Sampling and 测试 砖 and Structural Clay Tile
测试 building anchor performance in masonry
im体育APP masonry testing laboratories also test the performance and qualify of construction anchors in masonry materials to standards that include:
- ICC-ES AC 01, Acceptance Criteria for Expansion Anchors in Masonry im体育APPs
- ICC-ES AC 58, Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors in Masonry im体育APPs
- Icc-es ac 70, Acceptance Criteria for 紧固件 Power-Driven into Concrete, 钢, 和砌体构件
- ICC-ES AC106, Acceptance Criteria for Predrilled 紧固件 (Screw Anchors) in Masonry
Comprehensive cement testing
We also provide a comprehensive range of tests for cementitious materials which help to bind masonry elements together, to check the conformity according to EN 97-1. These materials include traditional Portland cement, blended cement and other cementitious materials, 比如飞灰, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), 石灰石 fines and silica fume.
Our tests include both Physical and Chemical analysis, covering:
- 强度
- 设置时间
- 稳健
- 细度
- 活动指数
- 水分含量
- 着火损失
- 剩余的不溶性
- 硫酸
- 亚硫酸盐
- 氯
- 锰
- Major elements (SiO2,Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, Al2O3)
- 二氧化碳
- 碱(Na2O & K2O)
- 活性硅
- 水化热
- Pozzolanicity
- Specific surface area -BET method
- Chemical analysis by X-Ray Fluorescence
- 游离氧化钙
Cement Treated Base (CTB) testing
Cement-treated base (CTB) is a mixture of aggregate material and/or granular soils combined with measured amounts of Portland cement and water that hardens after compaction and curing to form a durable paving material.
CTB is suitable as a base (for asphalt pavements) or subbase (for concrete pavements) - with uses including mainline highways, 大容量的街道, local roads and residential streets, heavy industrial/intermodal/military facilities, airport runways and parking lots.
Our testing procedures for CTB products include:
- Wetting and Drying Compacted Soil-Cement Mixtures – ASTM D559
- Moisture-Density (Unit Weight) Relations of Soil-Cement Mixtures – ASTM D558
- Compressive 强度 of Molded Soil-Cement Cylinders – ASTM D1633
- Measuring Thickness of Concrete im体育APPs Using Drilled Concrete cores -ASTM C174/C174M-17
